But of a stretch to say the gts 4.0ltr is better in every way other than looks at this stage. How many production ready emira cars have you driven?

The sports wheel tyre combo is in drivers pack but also in no cost options, could be a clue there.

Torpedo it that will put it out and save lots of time.

I think that a good shout no cost option between sports and touring that's your set up preference its a sports car either way. Cost option on packs only.

Correct I recently test drove and specced up a 718 gts due to conflicting comments on here as that's where I think the emira is pitched. The car was nice, drove well sounded good, great motor. What was really interesting is that specced up to match the emira it was close to 85k plus a wait for...

I think the i4fe will have the spec as the v6fe. But it will be interesting to see where the pricing goes on options I actually think the amount of spec you get on the fe is a good deal at 10k for 13jk face value if that's what it is?.

I agree on the seats not the best position in the blue car if they are no better in the production line car it could be a decision maker for me.

I think the evora will be a good buy now when the reviews come out for the emira people will revisit the evora and the numbers they were made in will make them a wise choice.

It must be very difficult to put a price on a car that won't get delivered for maybe 18 months, inflation is going up manufacturer's costs are going up even more, due to labour and material prices, if a base i4 is still 60k in 18 months time I will be amazed. If it is everything on the car will...

Yes this is something I've mentioned a few times, to me a fe is a normal thing to do and a way to reward early depositors who want to support the brand and take some risk. Initially I heard they were looking to do something like 1000 fe cars worldwide of which 600 🇬🇧. Then 1200 🇬🇧 and 2200...

For my 2pence on this issue I think they have done the best they can. It's gone to a customer who was an early depositor and hopefully and enthusiast yes he's been lucky but it's a mine field to sort this out look what's happening in the US with dealers possibly trying to get premiums to jump...

Wow your a lucky man.

The email says if you make changes after 4th of February it will delay your car by a month, so probably still due to being an early delivery.

8th July about 3pm.

Just this minute had my 3rd call. Wowwowwewha July delivery Spec changes allowed up till 4th of Feb. Time to lock it in.

Still nothing.😪

Can't see it being as fast as the 430. But not too far of with more weight and less power that's a good start. Who knows what the final edition will do but I bet it has less weight and more power.

Wow great I'm standing by the phone I was 8th 3pm but nothing yet?

Personally I don't care how much bhp and torque the i4 has I see them as 2 different cars I've said it before if you want the i4 with dct big bhp smart electronics and gearbox great if it has more bhp than the v6 so what I'm buying the v6 for the manual box and how it sounds and how that makes...

Maybe all fe i4 come with 400 and the base spec car rumoured to be 60k later this year will be 360 but if you would like 400 that will be extra sir. A base spec i4 for 60k will be exactly that basic but it will still look the dogs and drive round lots of more expensive stuff😀

Did they say how many car will be delivered in June.

Thanks for info frazzer Can I ask when you got second call I placed my deposit between 2 and 3pm 8th of July so hope I get a call soon. Cheers

Your not on your own same here.

Yes they said no future soft top!!

When did you both place your first deposit.

Any phone calls today?

We should have a much better idea about delivery times by the end of this week. Although does look like end of q1 delivery is getting close to beginning of q3 delivery!!.

I would like to pick mine up from the factory, but only if its attached to a factory tour some lunch and a full tank of fuel to get me home. Should be a sense of occasion to it and cost neutral for lotus home or dealer delivery must average 200 quid. Come on lotus let's make it special.

It looks like the emira has body panels all round no front or rear clam the car is bigger though so surely they have thought of clutch change.

Wow what you have done to the verdant is exactly what I was going to do to my car.

You've sold it to me Tom. Next driving tour in 🇦🇺 🪃

I dont think you can completely disregard what these guys had to say about the handling of the emira, whether they can really drive or have great engineering knowledge is not everything here. What they both certainly have is the ability to drive some of the best and most expensive cars in the...

I think its too early to say what the infotainment will be like it's an early rig to show how they interact with each other as for the sat navigation we haven't seen it yet and as the car comes with apple car play and android auto 95% of people will use Google maps or waze the best navigation...

I think it also depends how much you want to use the car, for me it will be every day on some rubbish roads in town speed bumps all over the place. Then going to do some long awaited road trips so happy with touring spec. If I wanted the fastest thing about with lots of track days and race...

Touring for me may do one track day a year, roads by me are rubbish!!

That extra track width will make it go round corners brilliantly 👏 Faster in faster out.

Looking good for reviews next year.

I agree can't see it happening if you want a manual get v6 quick while you still can.

I think the only manual available is the v6 but when that's gone in 4 years or so who knows.

The amg dct in the a45s has a limited slipp diff also has torque control. Don't see why the i4 emira wouldn't have it.
